창세기 16

1아브람의 아내 사래는 생산치 못하였고 그에게 한 여종이 있으니 애굽 사람이요 이름은 하갈이라 2사래가 아브람에게 이르되 여호와께서 나의 생산을 허락지 아니하셨으니 원컨대 나의 여종과 동침하라 내가 혹 그로 말미암아 자녀를 얻을까 하노라 하매 아브람이 사래의 말을 들으니라 3아브람의 아내 사래가 그 여종 애굽 사람 하갈을 가져 그 남편 아브람에게 첩으로 준 때는 아브람이 가나안 땅에 거한지 십 년 후이었더라 4아브람이 하갈과 동침하였더니 하갈이 잉태하매 그가 자기의 잉태함을 깨닫고 그 여주인을 멸시한지라 5사래가 아브람에게 이르되 나의 받는 욕은 당신이 받아야 옳도다 내가 나의 여종을 당신의 품에 두었거늘 그가 자기의 잉태함을 깨닫고 나를 멸시하니 당신과 나 사이에 여호와께서 판단하시기를 원하노라 6아브람이 사래에게 이르되 그대의 여종은 그대의 수중에 있으니 그대의 눈에 좋은 대로 그에게 행하라 하매 사래가 하갈을 학대하였더니 하갈이 사래의 앞에서 도망하였더라 7여호와의 사자가 광야의 샘 곁 곧 술 길 샘물 곁에서 그를 만나 8가로되 사래의 여종 하갈아 네가 어디서 왔으며 어디로 가느냐 그가 가로되 나는 나의 여주인 사래를 피하여 도망하나이다 9여호와의 사자가 그에게 이르되 네 여주인에게로 돌아가서 그 수하에 복종하라 10여호와의 사자가 또 그에게 이르되 내가 네 자손으로 크게 번성하여 그 수가 많아 셀 수 없게 하리라 11여호와의 사자가 또 그에게 이르되 네가 잉태하였은즉 아들을 낳으리니 그 이름을 이스마엘이라 하라 이는 여호와께서 네 고통을 들으셨음이니라 12그가 사람 중에 들나귀 같이 되리니 그 손이 모든 사람을 치겠고 모든 사람의 손이 그를 칠지며 그가 모든 형제의 동방에서 살리라 하니라 13하갈이 자기에게 이르신 여호와의 이름을 감찰하시는 하나님이라 하였으니 이는 내가 어떻게 여기서 나를 감찰하시는 하나님을 뵈었는고 함이라 14이러므로 그 샘을 브엘라해로이라 불렀으며 그것이 가데스와 베렛 사이에 있더라 15하갈이 아브람의 아들을 낳으매 아브람이 하갈의 낳은 그 아들을 이름하여 이스마엘이라 하였더라 16하갈이 아브람에게 이스마엘을 낳을 때에 아브람이 팔십육 세이었더라

1Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. 2Sarai said to Abram, “See now, Yahweh has restrained me from bearing. Please go in to my handmaid. It may be that I will obtain children by her.” Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 3Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife. 4He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. 5Sarai said to Abram, “This wrong is your fault. I gave my handmaid into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Yahweh judge between me and you.” 6But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your maid is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your eyes.” Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face. 7Yahweh’s angel found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur. 8He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s handmaid, where did you come from? Where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.” 9Yahweh’s angel said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.” 10Yahweh’s angel said to her, “I will greatly multiply your seed, that they will not be numbered for multitude.” 11Yahweh’s angel said to her, “Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because Yahweh has heard your affliction. 12He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. He will live opposite all of his brothers.” 13She called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “You are a God who sees,” for she said, “Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?” 14Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered. 15Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael. 16Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

1Doch Sarai, Abrams huisvrouw, baarde hem niet; en zij had een Egyptische dienstmaagd, welker naam was Hagar. 2Zo zeide Sarai tot Abram: Zie toch, de HEERE heeft mij toegesloten, dat ik niet bare; ga toch in tot mijn dienstmaagd, misschien zal ik uit haar gebouwd worden. En Abram hoorde naar de stem van Sarai. 3Zo nam Sarai, Abrams huisvrouw, de Egyptische Hagar, haar dienstmaagd, ten einde van tien jaren, welke Abram in het land Kanaan gewoond had, en zij gaf haar aan Abram, haar man, hem tot een vrouw. 4En hij ging in tot Hagar, en zij ontving. Als zij nu zag, dat zij ontvangen had, zo werd haar vrouw veracht in haar ogen. 5Toen zeide Sarai tot Abram: Mijn ongelijk is op u; ik heb mijn dienstmaagd in uw schoot gegeven; nu zij ziet, dat zij ontvangen heeft, zo ben ik veracht in haar ogen; de HEERE rechte tussen mij en tussen u! 6En Abram zeide tot Sarai: Zie uw dienstmaagd is in uw hand; doe haar, wat goed is in uw ogen. En Sarai vernederde haar, en zij vluchtte van haar aangezicht. 7En de Engel des HEEREN vond haar aan een waterfontein in de woestijn, aan de fontein op den weg van Sur. 8En hij zeide: Hagar, gij, dienstmaagd van Sarai! van waar komt gij, en waar zult gij heengaan? En zij zeide: Ik ben vluchtende van het aangezicht mijner vrouw Sarai! 9Toen zeide de Engel des HEEREN tot haar: Keer weder tot uw vrouw, en verneder u onder haar handen. 10Voorts zeide de Engel des HEEREN tot haar: Ik zal uw zaad grotelijks vermenigvuldigen, zodat het vanwege de menigte niet zal geteld worden. 11Ook zeide des HEEREN Engel tot haar: Zie, gij zijt zwanger, en zult een zoon baren, en gij zult zijn naam Ismael noemen, omdat de HEERE uw verdrukking aangehoord heeft. 12En hij zal een woudezel van een mens zijn; zijn hand zal tegen allen zijn, en de hand van allen tegen hem; en hij zal wonen voor het aangezicht van al zijn broederen. 13En zij noemde den Naam des HEEREN, Die tot haar sprak: Gij, God des aanziens! want zij zeide: Heb ik ook hier gezien naar Dien, Die mij aanziet? 14Daarom noemde men dien put, den put Lachai-Roi; ziet, hij is tussen Kades en tussen Bered. 15En Hagar baarde Abram een zoon; en Abram noemde den naam zijns zoons, die Hagar gebaard had, Ismael. 16En Abram was zes en tachtig jaren oud, toen Hagar Ismael aan Abram baarde.
